Things to Do in Los Feliz: Parks, Museums, and More

Introduction: Something for Every Age

Los Feliz has green parks, museums and activities for every age. Whether you’re looking for a weekend adventure, a weekday activity, or a cultural experience, Los Feliz has something for everyone.

Griffith Park Adventures

Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round

A classic LA landmark with colorful, hand-carved horses loved for generations. The Merry-Go-round has been out of commission since May of 2022. The city of Los Angeles officially purchased the 1926 carousel for $1 million in late 2025 to start restoration, with no confirmed reopening date yet.

Travel Town Museum

A favorite for train lovers of every age — with historic locomotives, exhibits, and even train rides.

Museums

Griffith Observatory

Great for curious minds of all ages. Interactive exhibits and telescopes make science fun.

Autry Museum of the American West (near Griffith Park)

Hands-on exhibits and public programs bring history and culture alive.

A wide-open space for picnics, plus occasional arts programming.
